Mine was just a drive in a box. However, Seagate drivers are online with good support, especially Seagate Tools, which is why I prefer this brand.

Mine came with one. I have purchased three of these drives, and they have been great!

This is a bare drive only. It does not come with cables, mounting hardware, or drivers. Windows supplies all necessary drivers.it is intended be mounted in a laptop. This mounting requires no cables.

Short Answer is NO. I scoured the internet for drivers and programs for this. Nothing. W7 uses basic generic drivers that come with W7.

Mine did not come with an installation CD. But since I was using Windows XP the drivers were automatically installed.

It was included in the purchase price for me, so I assume yes.. :) Hope that helps.. Had mine almost a year now, and the way it works, I doubt I will need it.. Great drive.

Drivers for this device are supplied by Microsoft Windows 7 update. The drivers should automatically be installed when Windows 7 recognizes the newly installed drive. If Windows incorrectly identifies the drive, try uninstalling the mislabeled drive in the 'Device Manager' and restart the computer. Windows should then detect the new drive and automatically install the correct driver.

No, you have to download the drivers. I downloaded it to a thumb drive on a different computer and then opened on my other computer. Works fantastically!

I installed mine in a windows machine with sata 6.0 cables (sata 3.0 cables would also work). The drive didn't come with a driver disk. Windows recognized it.

Yes it does. I think it requires one before it will work. I had one laying around anyway so thats what i used but when i took it out of the box and tried to set it up it just sat there until i put the drive in and then it came up.

Yes, you will get a CD with the drivers or you can download them at www.hiti.com/us/support/index.asp

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

I thought it was on the mini disk in the box. I use the included driver on my windows 7 laptop.

Beyond a doubt. Windows 8 installed the driver immediately. This is a great drive. You'll love it.

It came with a driver disk, but I could not get it to work with windows xp or 7, but then again, I am not a expert.
